My 2 little pumpkin girls were born yesterday. I was 27w3d and had been inpatient starting at 26 weeks getting twice daily monitoring (on the monitor for an hour each time). During an NST, one of the heart rates started dropping and wouldn't come back up. I had an emergency c section. Kaylie Jean is 2 lb 2 oz and Violet Rose (?) is 1 lb 15 oz. I got to see them in the nicu. Violet is having some blood pressure issues, but they are otherwise doing alright.

I feel sooooo lucky that this happened while they were on the monitor. If not, we would have had devastating results.

They're doing well. Thanks for asking. They're eating well (getting milk via tube) and are finally above their birth weights! Having a little trouble remembering to breathe, but apparently that's normal for their age. I got to hold them the other day (kangaroo care) :). But we don't usually touch the much, since they get stressed out. Overall, I'm just happy that they're out, since it was so dangerous inside with those nasty cords. Hopefully your pregnancy is going well and is uneventful!

Well I had a scare Tuesday. I had to go to the ER because I was bleeding heavily. The babies looked good and they have no idea where the blood came from. I had an SCH at 7 weeks so it could have been that. But I had an ultrasound today and met with my mfm the girls look good with heart rates at 156 & 158. They are gonna put together an inpatient plan for me sometime between 24-28 weeks. I'm glad your babies are doing well and hope things continue to be smooth. Keep us updated!

They are doing great. Thanks for asking. They're 6 weeks now and are off of all the breathing machines. They just have oxygen via nasal cannula. They're double their birth weights. No one has talked about discharge yet. They're still getting their feedings in their ng tubes. But I'm so proud of them and lucky that they're doing so well.

How are you doing? Babies still doing well? Are you planning on when to go inpatient?

I'm glad the babies are doing so good. They will be home before you know it! I meet with my MFM on December 31 to discuss when I will go inpatient. We only live about 15 minutes from the hospital so that's good. Everything seems to be going well but with momo twins it can change quickly as you know. I will be 24 weeks on January 5, so we will see what they say. No one really updates on these boards much anymore. I was about to give up and noticed you responded. Thanks for keeping me posted. I will keep your babies in my prayers.
